t a great style never is, the dress of his thought. While, therefore, he composed more impulsively and rapidly than Holmes, he never produced a strain quite so pure and perfect and certain of a place in the treasury of English poetry as The Chambered Nautilus. He was, for better and worse, more a poet of his own day than Holmes. Even in The vision of Sir Launfal, he could not, as Holmes noted, forget his American landscape or his modern point of view; and his greater successes, from The Bigelow papers to the Commemoration Ode, were essentially poems of occasion. It was immensely to the advantage of Lowell as a direct human force that he was so frankly a man of the hour. Longfellow in his quiet scholastic life and Holmes in his office of urbane spectator seem a little remote, by comparison, from the more eager questions of their day.

4, 1901. Franklin, Benjamin Statesman and philosopher, born at Boston, Mass., Jan. 17, 1706, the son of a soap-boiler and tallow-chandler. He learned the printer's trade, and then ran away to Philadelphia, where he became the editor and proprietor of the Pennsylvania Gazette. In 1732 he began the publication of the famous Poor Richard's almanac. He was rather a statesman than a literary man, and filled many important public offices. The complete collection of his works edited by John Bigelow (1887-89) consists, in a great part, of letters written in a clear, business-like way upon many subjects. His Autobiography, printed first in French, and in 1817 in English, gave him reputation as a writer. He died in Philadelphia, Pa., April 17, 1790. Freneau, Philip Born in New York, N. Y., Jan. 2, 1752. He graduated at Princeton in 1771, and spent some time at sea. Later he was a contributor to The United States magazine and the Freeman's journal. He was editor of the New Yor
